This morning, without warning, Facebook permanently deleted our group of over 20,000 members.
Twenty thousand people’s stories. Their lifeline to community. Gone with a click.
We have obviously appealed. Maybe we get it back, maybe we don’t.
We built one of the largest, most engaged communities in the country around GLP-1 medications on Facebook. We answered questions people couldn’t find elsewhere. We shared stories that the media ignored. We offered hope in the face of silence from our healthcare system. And once again, they’ve tried to silence us too.
Let me be very clear: this was not an accident. We are being targeted. Because we are loud. Because we are growing. Because we are making an impact.
But here’s the thing. You don’t silence 20,000 voices with a button. You don’t kill a movement by killing a group. You just wake the rest of us up.
They think they deleted a Facebook group. What they actually did was activate a movement.
We are building something bigger than social media can contain. On The Pen was never meant to live in someone else’s algorithm. This is ours. This is yours. And it’s time to plant our flag.
If you’re reading this, you’re part of something now. A rebellion. A resistance. A patient-led media platform that’s growing faster than they can shut us down.
If you want to fight back, become a paid subscriber today. Your subscription isn’t just for exclusive posts or early access. It’s how we stay independent. It’s how we keep building. It’s how we make sure that no corporation, no algorithm, and no pharma executive decides what stories get told.
They took our group. Let’s show them they can’t take our voice.
Join the fight.
Subscribe, share, and stay loud.
We’re not done. We’re just getting started.
Share this an help get the word out. We' might be off Facebook, but we’re still here.
I’ll upload the screenshots to the article
Funny thing is, I never was a member of the Facebook group. I follow you on nearly every other platform. My engagement with fb these days is minimal. They have stopped nothing!!
